# Renaming A Sequence
|
|
|
|
If a table is created with a `serial` type column, then a sequence is also
|
|
created with a name based on the name of the table.
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> \d
|
|
List of relations
|
|
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
|
|
--------+-----------------+----------+------------
|
|
public | accounts | table | jbranchaud
|
|
public | accounts_id_seq | sequence | jbranchaud
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In [Renaming A Table](renaming-a-table.md), I showed how a table can be
|
|
renamed in PostgreSQL. This will not, however, rename associated sequences.
|
|
To maintain naming consistency, you may want to also rename sequences when
|
|
renaming tables. This can be done with a query like the following:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
> alter sequence accounts_id_seq rename to users_id_seq;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [`alter
|
|
sequence`](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-altersequence.html)
|
|
docs for more details.
